'MY STRONGEST ASSET'
McGovern defends credibility
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (W) -
Sen., George McGovern, comment-
ing yesterday on his first full week
of cross-county campaigning for

credibility and said he regretted
that what he considers his strong-. .
stmasset is being questioned by
some members of the news media.
The credibility issue raised by
the Democratic nominee in re-
sponse to a question about. news n
coverage o i apin o
suimed a major portion of his first
full news conference since he
launched his formal White House
drive last Monday.
The senator gave a detailed ac-<
count of the incidents surrounding
Pierre Salinger's mission to the
Paris peace talks on Vietnam, say-
ing that rather than a credibility
problem, he was perhaps too open:
in discussing the matter.
McGovern said his original
statement-in which he denied in-
structing Salinger to tell the North
Vietnamese they would be better
advised to reach an agreement
with the Nixon administration be-
fore the election-was solely di-
rected at a press report disclosing
the mission and stating that was
its purpose.<
McGovern said he never denied
knowing Salinger was in Paris and:
that he had told Salinger if the
occasion arose "to make some
inquiry about our prisoners~
At that time, McGovern was;<.

when the issue was first raised
Later that day McGovern issued a
statement, after talking to Salinger,
saying he had asked Salinger to see
if the North Vietnamese position on
releasing prisoners before the war"
ends had changed, and found that
it hadn't.
McGovern said he was willing to
admit, "the incident was handled*r.
in a clumsy way" andrthatsince
then, he has been more cautious
in commenting, "because I want to
be more sure of the facts of a situ-
ation before I speak, based on the
lesson that I learned from the
Salinger thing." AP Photo

Nixon pays visit to flood
victims in Wilkes-Barre'

WILKES-BARR, Pa. (AP)-Pres-
ident Nixon dropped in unan-
n unced toathistflood-ravaged city
yesterday and took on the role of
genial benefactor for flood victims.
The President made his unex-
pected decision to fly to Wilkes-
Barre by helicopter from his Camp
David retreat, after conferring
with Frank Carlucci his adminis-
trator of federal aid for those who
lost homes and businesses in the
Imassive floods triggered by Tropi-
cal Storm Agnes.
Flood relief has become an issue
in the 1972 presidential campaign,
at least in Pennsylvania.
Nixon's Democratic opponent,
Sen. George McGovern, made a

quick trip to the area earlier to
talk with those who feel federal
help should flow faster.
Nixon made things happen in a
hurry as he toured devastated sec-
tionsyand talkedrwithhouseholders.
One man reported he was living'
in an attic with his wife. The
President turned to Carlucci, who
made the helicopter trip with him
and said the federal government
should provide the family with a
mobile home to use until their own
dwelling is repaired.
Carlucci had a whispered con-
versation with one of his aides and
then told the man, Frank Vivian,
"You'll be taken care of today or
tomorrow."

Are you still
reading
the way your
parents read?
In the first grade, when you were taught
to read "Run Spot Run," you had to read it
out loud. Word-by-word. Later, in the second
grade, you were asked to read silently. But
you couldn't do it.
You stopped reading out loud, but you
continued to say every word to yourself.
Chances are, you're doing it right now.
This means that you read only as fast
as you talk. About 250 to 300 words per
minute. (Guiness' Book of World Records
lists John F'. Kennedy as delivering the fast-
est speech on record: 327 words per
minute.)
The Evelyn Wood Course teaches you
to read without mentally saying each word
to yourself. Instead of reading one word at
a time, you'll learn to read groups of words.
To see how natural this is, look at the

You immediately see all three words.
Now look at the dot between the next two
lines of type.
and it grows
when it rains .
With training, you'll learn to use your
innate ability to see groups of words.
As an Evelyn Wood graduate, you'll be
able to read between 1,000 and 3,000
words per minute . . . depending on the
difficulty of the material.
At 1,000 words per minute, you'll be
able to read a text book like Hofstadtler's
American Political Tradition and finish
each chapter in 11 minutes.
At 2,000 words per minute, you'll be
able to read a magazine like Time or News-

week and finish each page in 31 seconds.
At 3,000 words per minute, you'll be
able to read the 447 page novel The God-
father in 1 hour and 4 minutes.
These are documented statistics based
on the results of the 450,000 people who
have enrolled in the Evelyn Wood course
since its inception in 1959.
The course isn't complicated. There
are no machines. There are no notes to
take. And you don't have to memorize any-
thing.
95% of our graduates have improved
their reading ability by an average of 4.7
times. On rare occasions, a graduate's read-
ing ability isn't improved by at least 3 times.
In these instances, the tuition is completely
refunded.

Do you want to see how the course
works?
Then take a free Mini-Lesson.TM The
Mini-Lesson is an hour long peek at what
the Evelyn Wood course offers.
We'll show you how it's possible to
accelerate your speed without skipping a
single word. You'll have a chance to try your
hand at it, and before it's over, you'll actually
increase your reading speed. (You'll only
increase it a little, but it's a start.)
We'll show you how we can extend your
memory. And we'll show you how we make
chapter outlining obsolete.
Take a Mini-Lesson this week. It's a
wild hour. And it's free.
